FAME Baphomet 6 Fretless

Mr

Excellent value, no-nonsense active bass. Reliable hardware and attractive oiled finish. MEC pickups and active controls give adequate range. The "Fame" branding may not suit every persons taste but dont let prejudice stand in the way of a competent instrument. I have used this particular bass professionally for 11 months with an Irish acoustic band both live and in recording. From that experience the only modification I would suggest is a small radius on the treble edge of the ebony fingerboard for comfort.
